ASP.NET MVC, AJAX, JQUERY

I have been doing a lot of good stuff with the following technologiementioned in the title.

I wanted to be able to focus on integrating a lot of the fancier stuff that people like to see

on website these days. I created a little demo project for cool AJAX stuff to reside. A repository for me to look at or enhance whenever I need to.

You can never remember everything in the web development world. Its good to build you own set of libraries and tools for referral whenever you need them for commercial projects. I have now achieved the following.

1. Login form using Jquery (slimbox) with AJAX

2. Add To Basket using Jquery with AJAX

3. Drop down list using Jquery with AJAX

4. Returning XML or JSON using AJAX/REST

The Two Images below show the Add to basket and Login form ajaxified. A special mention should go to the original URL (Add To Basket (Ajax)) which is written in php and Jquery. I have

used the css and images from this site and have ammended / enhanced the javascript accordingly to work with MVC Controllers.

Socially: Still Chilling with Zubair We went snooker the other day. His game has improved dramatically and is becoming a real threat. Its great playing each other and helping each other to improve our games.

Anyways I knocked in a 38 break on this occasion and narrowly beat him 2 frames to 1. Just bought a PVR (Humax) should get it before Xmas. Other Stuff will be heading to Glasgow this weekend to see my mother inlaw and family should be good fun.

David Gray - New day @ Midnight

I been listeningl to the following David Gray Album.

Not listened to it for 5 years or more I will forever associate david gray with me getting married in 2002. reminds me of having no money, no washing machine, no furniture and no TV. living in a rented accommodation just me and the misses with her stereo player and my shisha.

Somehow less can be more. Simpler times, easier times.

five years have come and gone and its now packed with the two munchkins taking over the habitat.

ah the joys of it all (hard work though).

anyway I think the following lyrics are immense by david gray

The dawn in all its majesty
Is stealing me away
The dawn in all its honesty
Is turning me to clay
And through the bars of iron rain
Way beyond and back again
I hear the voice of Eden cry
Lift me up I'm walking on high

It's real love
Real love

This world in all its clarity
Is glorious, is fake
This world in all its vanity
Is more than I can take
And down the road the iron wheels
Chain my heart to how it feels
I hear the voice of Eden cry
Lift me up I'm walking on high

Umar & Aisha - The munchkins

December 2009

I am at work. Just been chatting to the Director (who is in pakistan) .... its all good. Christmas is upon us and its getting busier. Still Looking into the Ajax stuff for MVC Website.

Yesterday was physio day. Took Umar to Pictor School. Had a good session. Aisha and the misses did not attend. Its good to spend time with Umar alone.

So the munchkins have only one more week left of school and then they are flying up to glasgow..... actually I will be taking them. thats it for now.
